It seems like tax isn't an option for that team.
A + B makes it pretty clear for me (provided both things are true, of course). Kind of seems like being the last team holding that Porzingis $30 million expiring contract might be part of the draw.
I agree they are not sure if Trae is a franchise piece. But, you don't make an all-in move for AD and trade your only true PG. It just doesn't make sense. They would be like Mavs. AD trade is one last hope they can make it with Trae. If they will be trading Trae, it will be for another PG going to Hawks.
